Timemore C3 Max Pro

Equipment notes

The C3 Max Pro is a manual hand grinder from Chinese grinder brand Timemore, placing the C3-generation burrset in a larger-capacity body. Timemore is known for minimalist, sensibly priced manual grinders, and the C3 generation brings a spike-to-cut style burr design derived from the higher Chestnut X down to an accessible size. It keeps the steel conical burr with clicked stepped adjustment like the C2, but the C3 burr first breaks beans with larger spikes before lower teeth finish the cut, a two-stage action that improves grinding speed and uniformity. It retains conical body while producing a more even particle, handling several methods centered on pour-over. The larger capacity eases multi-serving brewing. It suits home brewers who want a step up in grind quality from budget manuals together with generous capacity.
